Is there a way to put a sprite on top of a LUA panel? I've tried setting the sprite to -1000, -100 -1 0 and no success.

i believe sprites are on top of text and panels by default so do you mean put the sprite BEHIND the panel? use SetSpritePosition(id,200,200) then PasteSpritePosition(id,#,#) -- where #,# is the position on the screen you want to display the sprite

Layers only work with pasted sprites not sprites placed directly in screen. The top layyer is 1 the bottom layer is 100.

Looking to put it in front of the panel. In the future will most likely use an image as a border but for now looking to use panels as they are quick and easy solution for creating okay frames.

I am glad i can move text behind and above sprites and of course always want text on top of panels.

I'm using Pasted sprites but cant seem to get them above panels? Perhaps this is not possible?

Oh do you mean the panel lua command? I think they're the same as text, its fixed to the top layer.

As Belidos says the panel is always the top layer.

Have you tried not using pasted sprites? Normal sprites should cover a panel and text.
